One of the finest radios on ha market today. Here is an architect's idea of how the Prospect Park Zoo will look after its completion early in the Summer. It is a bird's eye riew and will be one of the most modern menageries in the country. tj, Work of Modernization Isf i DOWN Office Open Late For Income Tax WEEKLY For the convenience of taxpayers who want to file their income tax returns personally in Brooklyn, the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue in the Federal Building at 271 Washington will be open till 7 P. M.

on March 12 and 13, till 9 P. M. on March 14 and till midnight March 15, it was announced by Collector Almon G. Rasquin. Returns may be mailed to the collector, he said, but care should be taken to mail them so that they will be received before midnight, March 15.

Already Under Way. Animals in the Prospect Park Zoo aie getting a new deal, with I'lans for new menagerie completed end the preliminary work of dig- ginsr test pits already started. After years of agitation by civic organizations and officials of the have Ken drawn to give Brooklyn one of the most modern and beautiful menatreries in the country. It will be located on the area which once was the duck pond. The plans show the main entrance of the zoo opening otf Flat-bush about 441 feet from the Lerferts Mansion, toward Eastern Parkway.

Leading down from the street to the linvtv on which six brick huildin-ts comprising the Zoo will be con tructed will be a stone stirway. In the center of the building group will be a seal pool with walks rad ating, giving the landscape the shan? of an open fan. Restaurant is planned. The six buildings will house the lions, horned animals, monkeys and birds. The hippopotami and elephants will be in a large domed building in the center of the group.

In a corner of the garden will be a restaurant. Two shelters for visitors will be constructed along the street level. Two huge decorative cairns will display a hawk and an eagle. The bears' dens will be built into the slope, which rises toward Flat-bush Ave. The dens will be built of huge boulders simulating a mountain side.

A feature of he bears dens will' be the seemingly unprotected en- closure. To the spectator viewing: the bears nothing will stand be tween the animals and the visitors. Close scrutiny, however, will reveal a moat 18 feet deep, filled with water. Constructed with perpendicular sides which will be too steep to enable a bear to gain freedom, it is known as the Hagen-beck method of display and has been adopted by zoos in St. Louis, Washington and Chicago.

Plot New Paths. Paths have been plotted to" make the zoo accessible from all points in the park The plans were prepared by CWA architects and engineers. The zoo is expected to be completed and the animals moved into their new homes by early Summer. Similar improvements have been planned in Staten Island and the Central Park Zoo. Wb' workers are enlarging the Central Park Zoo, a number of the animals will be cared for at Prospect Park.
